at all that they will actually come to the table and negotiate? no, i really don t. i think that speaker pelosi in the last 24 hours, not just i mean in the last month but even in the last 24 hours has shown her true colors. she has made it very clear she is not willing to negotiate as far as a border wall or physical barrier, whatever you want to call it, what president trump has promised, she is not willing to negotiate on that. she is gloating. she is spiking the ball. she is more interested in defeating the president, that s what she is focused on, than an our nation s security. so, we have seen that. we see her true colors right now. the president has been willing to negotiate. he has been willing to go further than some people may even want him to do who are his supporters, but they understand they are trying to give him the leeway to negotiate. she hasn t been willing to do that at all. pete: you are exactly right. the pundits have been say hog wins, who caves, who doesn t. wh
the longest that has ever happened. you know how this goes. media crunch things, who blames, who caves, who did what. what were the factors? could it have been the delays and airport problems at la guardia and elsewhere where people were seeing flights grounded as they were waiting through this and a lot of people showing up in fewer numbers. that s why we had to have the delays. real clear politics, a.b. stoddard and madison and democratic strategist, kristin. kristin, the consensus read has been that the president caved, agreed to something that he could have signed off on 35 days ago. is that your read? i think that the president did the responsible thing. people came together. it was clear from the votes yesterday in the senate that neither package was going to pass in a way that would work.
